Things to do before you die (a chocolate-based death)

If there is one thing everyone must do before they die, it's see The Bucket List - see what I did there?

Saw it today, and it's one of the most amazing films I have ever seen. Really funny, but quite beautiful too! I love it!

But it made me think a bit more seriously about this question. On the day I die, what do I want to look back on my life and say I've done?
The first thing that springs to mind is have a family. I'd have to think a lot harder about the rest.

There's an Egyptian belief, or an old Egyptian belief, I can't remember which now, that says that when someone dies, before they are allowed into heaven, they are asked two questions, and the answers will decide whether or not they are accepted:
1. Have you had joy in your life?
2. Has your life brought joy to others?

So yeah, I'm asking you that

Yes to both I am guess I am very blessed...a happy life..accepted the bad bits as I went along and always look forward and not back

i would say yes to both... 'tis a good philosophy that.... i try to do both on a regular basis...

I don't actually know myself. I'd say yes to 1, but I don't know about the second. How can you truely measure joy? Is it a certain level of happiness? Well, I'm not too sure my life has brought joy to someone else :S

I am pretty sure when I say this Jo, I think I can say a resounding Yes you will have brought happyness to all of people you do it every day on here

how sweet

sarcasm is not good for a King Paul

ah, but that was on another thread, so it does not count

Awww, thanks Sue!!

i wasn't being sarcastic either people often do this with me.... they think i am being sarcastic when i am not... and think i am being serious when i am joking..... why is this do you think?

Maybe because you're a good "actor", and behave the same when joking and when serious, so people get confused?

it might just be that i am strange.... and people don't understand what the hell i am going on about...

You know, you might have something there

like a disease?

Hahaha! Maybe, I don't know, I'm not a doctor
